Schools of White whales.

Schools of white whale-beluga or
grampus-are the first OF the ceta-
cean family that appear along the
Alaskan shores when the ice begins
to break up. Their cleaning white
color is sensibly visible as they grace
fully cleave the dark-green waters
of the sea. Following tho ice pack
as it drifts TO north and west, these
grampus seem 10 be the forerunners
of their gigantic brothers, the bow
head whale balRna, in their passage
To the northern waters. In hunting
these white whales the natives on
Kotzebue sound display great ingenu-
ity. A feet OF kiacks spread into a
semicircle incloses the school, gradu-
ally driving the affrighted fish into
shallow water, until, being unable TO
escape by reason of grounding upon
the beach, they fall easy victims to
the spears or harpoons Of their hunt
ers. On the coast To the north OF
the sound the rifle again serves as
a weapon to hill the beluga.
The Mutes have curious custom
which is observed whenever the first
white whale of the season is killed.
After the carcass is brought on shore
the oldest male of the village hunting
party sits upon the beach, and, fac
ing the dead whale, intones a series
of invocations to the deceased, im-
ploring its spirit not To return 10 the
sea, and thereby warn other members
of his family against his captors.
Small portions of the lip and fins are
cut off and buried in the earth. Be
fore this ceremony takes place no one
is allowed to commence stripping the
blubber. or working upon the body.
When seal is brought ashore it is
laid upon its back and some fresh
water is poured over its head, SO that
the spirit will not 60 back TO the sea
and warn off the other phocm. White
whale blubber resembles limburger
cheese in taste, while the flesh, If Of
a calf, is tender and palatable. The
fins, when boiled and covered with
vinegar, are an excellent substitute
for pigs feet,

The World From the Sidewalk.

Did you stand in the crowded street,
In the light OF city lamp,
And list to the tread of the million feet,
In their quantity musical tramp:
As the surging crowd goes 10 and fro,
lis pleasant sight, between,
To mark the figures thar come aud go
In the ever changing scene.
Here the publican walks with the sinner proud,
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,
And Dives walks by in the motely crowd,
With Lazarus, cheek by jowl;
And the daughter of toll, with her fresh young
heart.
A pure as her spotless fame,
Keeps step with the woman who makes her ma
In the haunts OF sin and shame.
How lightly trips the country lass
In the midst of the city's ills,
As freshly pure as the daisied grass
That grows on her native hills;
And the beggar, TOO. with hungry eye,
And lean, face, and cruUch,
Bestows blessing on the passer by,
AS he gives him little much.
When Time shall have beaten the days tattoo
And in dusky armor night
Is treadug with echoless footsteps through
The gloom of the silt mt night,
Some few of these shall be dantily fed
And sink TO slumbers sweet,
While many viii go d sleepless bed
With never a crunb TO eat!
All, me when the hours go joyfully by,
How little stopped TO heed
Our brothers and sisters despairing cry
In their woe and bitter need.
Yet such a world as the angels sought
This world of ours we'd call,
If the brotherly love our Father taught
Was felt by each for all.
Yet a few years more, and this motely throng
Viii all h we passed away,
And the rich, and ponr, and old, and young,
Will be undistinguished clay;
And the lips that laugh, and the lips that moan,
Will in silence alike be sealed,
And some will rest under stately stones,
And some in the potter's' field.
But the sun will be shining just as bright,
And SO will the silver moon,
And just such crowd Will be here at night,
And just such crowd at noon;
And men will be wicked and women will sin,
AS since Adams fall,
With the same wide world to labor in,
And the God over all.

Evil is in antagonism with the en-
tire creation.

converse.
One Of the illusions Is that the
present hour Is not the critical, de-
cisive hour. Write il on your heart

Money and time are the heaviest

Our community is more or less
amused and mortified, in regard to the
fact that several families in our vicinity
are liable. to be! scattered, through
nuptial infelicity, as the female half
has sued for a enforcement and are
anxious to sever the, bonds of lnatri-
mony. The strangest part of the affair
is, that the parties referred to are MEM
bers of the Christian Faith, and have
had their sins forgiven and their souls
washed white in the blood ofthe Saint"
Such family wrangles will undoubtedly
convince the unbelieyers that they are
sadly in need of salvation, and that
there is truly realty in RELIGION" Tt
is evident that our community is sadly
in need of sanctification and holiness,

There was no surprise in the Interior
Department when the resignation of
the chief clerk of the Patent Office who
is one of those so-called indispensable"
Republicans, holding office under a
Democratic Administration, was an
nounced, though the Washington
newspapers either suppressed or were
profoundly ignorant of the real reason,
which was the Chief Clerks relation to
the Bacon ldefalcation. it being the
formers duty, under the law Of the
United States, to examine the accounts
of the financial clerk every month, and
certify whether or not they are correct.
And the Chief Clerk regularly certified
to the correctness of the financial clerks
accounts, forfour years the latter being
defaulter all of that time. And no
I sooner is the chief clerk shown the door
than he essays the difficult task of
"whitewashing," his corrupt associate
in office ifin nothing more.
There is no doubt but what the
various Departments are literally
honeycombed with Republican rascals
and thievesswho should be sent on with

solicitude must be of-much significance

one office, but I know of several, whose
ambition cannot be bound in such mar

Such are the fruits of Democratic ad-
ministration, the results of the wise, manly,
law-observing and constitution-loying policy
of President Cleveland, as depicted in the en-
forced admissions of his enemies. BY these
fruits we may know what manner of man the
President of the United States is, and what
kind of principles he cherishes and observes.
